The Arkansas Appeal Tribunal is a
state agency of the
Government of Arkansas.[1] Persons unsatisfied with
unemployment insurance (UI) determinations issued by the Arkansas Division of Workforce Services may appeal to the Arkansas Appeal Tribunal within 20 days.[a][3] The Tribunal holds hearings.[4]
The Appeal Tribunal is based in
Little Rock. In 1989, the Tribunal had a staff of about 30 and was funded by, but separate from, the Arkansas Employment Security Division.[5] The Arkansas Employment Security Division was renamed the Arkansas Department of Workforce Services (ADWS) in 2005.[6][7] In 2019, following a state government reorganization, the Department of Workforce Services became the Division of Workforce Services[8][9] within the Arkansas Department of Commerce.[10]
Decisions of the Arkansas Appeal Tribunal are subject to further review by the Arkansas Board of Review,[b] which can be further reviewed by the
Arkansas Court of Appeals.[12]
